my suggestion is get a ball python or some other novalty snake... good chance most female Captive Bred superdwarf localities will grow past 8ft in their lifetime.

... 4 out of 5 dentists say that most if not all wild caught specimens are stunted.

haha thanks for the input, i had balls in the past, great snake dont get me wrong but as you can see big difference in looking into dwarf retics then the avg 50 dollar ball python.

if your looking for an 8ft retic stick with males. i have a female superdwarf jamp cross thats 15ft and 5yrs old... and the mother of my kayuadi superdwarfs is 14ft and 10yrs old.

best way to keep a retic small is to limit food intake.

best of luck.

thanks i was planning on getting a male just assure to limit size even more. hopefully i can find a breeder of these super dwarfs from what i see they are breeding at 6 ft!!

what you see or hear in the hobby may not necesserily represent what all "superdwarf" locality retics will do...
